Tomato Pomodoro Principe Borghese

Tomato: Pomodoro Principe Borghese  Italian heirloom bred for sun-drying, maintains more flavor when dried  Small indeterminate plants bear prolifically and must be staked or caged. Tomatoes set on clusters of 7-10 fruit each weighing about 2 oz. They hold extremely well on the vine. 72 days. Eat fresh in salad or dry for sun-dried tomatoes. They also make outstanding oven-roasted tomatoes; slice in half, drizzle with some olive oil, bake at 250°F until mostly done, sprinkle with fresh basil, oregano, etc. Eat as a contorno or freeze  Eat them right out of the garden, use in an oven-roasted sauce an uncooked sauce and a quick sauce. Also, in tomato salads or dehydrate these and then use whole, or grind and add to soups, sauces, salad dressing or bruschetta. One of my favorite tomatoes
